Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 464

The first year of the Milky Way, December 12th.

Above the new Changan Synchronous Orbit Space Station (formerly Dongtang Synchronous Orbit Space Station).

A combined spaceship composed of 1 Qinglong-class 2 spacecraft and 4 Xuanwu-class 2 spacecraft is quietly parked beside the space station.

Wang Tiejun and Li Zhongting of the Department of Space and Astronautics were floating in the cabin of the space station. They were quietly observing the construction of this spacecraft. This is the largest spacecraft ever built by the Human Innovation Alliance.

How big is it?
We can deduce it from the specifications of the Xuanwu-class 2 spacecraft. The specification of the Xuanwu-class 2 spacecraft is a regular hexagonal cylinder with a side length of 6 meters and a height of 18 meters. The total volume is 1683.5 cubic meters, and the dry weight is 124 tons. Effective The load is about 420 tons, and the specifications of the Qinglong-class Type 2 are almost the same as the Xuanwu-class Type 2.

The spaceship in front of me is composed of 1 Qinglong-class Type 2 spaceship and 4 Xuanwu-class Type 2 spaceships.

Its length is 56 meters, its height is 12 meters, its total volume reaches 8513 cubic meters, its dry weight is 846 tons, its fuel reserves are 120 tons (110 tons of plasma fuel, 10 tons of nuclear fuel), 45 tons of human life support equipment (10 astronauts ), with a payload of 2000 tons.

"That is the sub-light speed engine?" Wang Tiejun asked, pointing to a piece of equipment that had just been transported from the ground.

"Yes, it was manufactured by the Ion Engine Research Institute imitating the sub-light speed engine of the Anluo Stars, and the two devices beside it are the Jinwu-3 nuclear fusion reactor developed by the Qinling Base." Li Zhongting explained.

"There are only 2000 tons of payload, and there are relatively few combat units that can be carried." Wang Tiejun was a little dissatisfied.

Li Zhongting shook his head and smiled wryly: "My General Wang, this is an experimental spaceship, not a space battleship."

"How long would it take to build a spacecraft with a full capacity of 10 tons?" Wang Tiejun continued to ask.

"This..." Li Zhongting hesitated, thought for a while and replied: "I can't guarantee how long it will be, after all, no one has ever built such a thing, we must see the test situation of this experimental spaceship."

"Okay! Just wait for the experimental spaceship to test the situation."

"Don't stress too much." Li Zhongting patted Wang Tiejun on the shoulder and comforted him.

Wang Tiejun did not answer, but quietly watched the construction of the experimental spaceship. Under the background of the blue waves, the insignificance and greatness of human beings were unexpectedly unified in one place. He secretly clenched his fists in thought.

The construction of the experimental spaceship is getting faster and faster. In the parking area of ​​New Chang'an, it has been transformed into a spaceship assembly factory.

Countless materials, parts, and equipment were transported up from the ground of Blue Star through the mass projector, but this situation will soon change, because the lunar industrial zone and the new Wuhan Synchronous Orbit Space Station (Space Factory) will gradually undertake part of the parts. production to reduce over-reliance on the Blue Star ground.

At the same time, there are two other mass projectors under rapid construction on the ground of Blue Star. They are Omsk in the West Siberia Plain and Carnegie Lake in Western Australia, Australia.

The construction progress of these two mass projectors has caught up with the Wenchang mass projector. After all, the Wenchang mass projector is an international project, and the mass projectors in Omsk and Carnegie Lake are used by the Human Innovation Alliance.

Obviously, the frenzied actions of the Human Revolutionary Alliance in the past few months have put a lot of pressure on the Mili family and the Xizhou Alliance, especially since the Low-Earth Orbit Legion has deployed a small space fleet of 500 people on it.

Although the Human Revolutionary Alliance's deployment of weapons and troops in outer space violates the outer space treaty, the Human Revolutionary Alliance can ignore international rules at this time, and countries have nothing to do.

For example, a West Asian native dog that was dancing happily was directly rubbed on the ground by a team of Xingtian mechs, and it was rubbed back and forth. This was the first time the world saw the terrifying combat power of the Human Revolutionary Alliance.

Whether it's precision-guided missiles, rockets with saturated coverage, or even aircraft seas or tank seas, it has no effect. The Xingtian Mecha is in an invincible state, and it is an invincible state without cooling.

In November, Wang Tiejun also organized a low-earth orbit airborne exercise, dropping 10 space-type Xingtian mechas from low-earth orbit to the ground of Blue Star.

These terrifying deterrents immediately made those jumping clowns shudder, fearing that they would be picked on by the Human Revolution Alliance.

……

12 month 18 day.

The experimental spaceship is finally complete.

There are five people floating in the platform cabin of the berthing area, or four people plus a robot, and they are members of the first team of the Space Expeditionary Force.

Since it is a sub-light-speed spacecraft, if remote control is used, the spacecraft may hit a celestial body, and it will take a few minutes for the control center to respond. Unless the quantum communication system is completed, only astronauts can operate the spacecraft.

However, quantum communication technology has not been able to enter the practical stage, and the Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics had to adopt a more risky manual driving method.

Nourish!The airtight hatch of the platform cabin opened automatically, and Wang Tiejun and two space soldiers floated in.

"Salute!" The four saluted quickly.

"Stand at attention, take a break." Wang Tiejun saluted and said: "Very good, the alliance needs your energy and spirit. Let me remind you again that the mission of driving the Sun Chaser to Mars may be sacrificed. It is too late for you to withdraw now."

"Guaranteed to complete the task." Team leader Fang Tianbo replied with his head raised.

"I promise to complete the task." Political commissar Lin Lei also replied loudly.

The other two players, Yuri Ifanov and Masashi Kishimoto, also replied in unison: "I promise to complete the task."

"Very good, you are all heroes of mankind no matter what." Wang Tiejun awarded hero medals to everyone: "Come back alive."

"Yes." Fang Tianbo replied immediately.

After a while, the first team of the Space Expeditionary Force began to board the Sun Chaser spacecraft. Wang Tiejun looked at the robot No. 9527 following the first team of the Expeditionary Force, and couldn't help but think of Huang Zhong, who was always in a hurry.

Obviously he had doubts about Huang Zhong's identity, but now was not the time to investigate this matter, Wang Tiejun secretly suppressed this doubt.

After the first team of the Space Expeditionary Force boarded the cockpit of the Sun Chaser, they immediately entered the life-support and anti-G cabin. Of course, being in the life-support and anti-G cabin did not affect their operation of the spacecraft, and their work of driving the spacecraft was very easy. Most of the work is done by the artificial intelligence of the spacecraft. They are mainly decision-making and corrections, as well as responding to emergencies.

Robot No. 9527 is actually operated by Zhong's subroutine, and it followed the first team of the Space Expeditionary Force this time, mainly just in case.

At 10:12 in the morning, the Sun-by-Sun spacecraft began to leave the parking area of ​​the new Chang'an space station, but at this time the spacecraft did not start the photon engine, but used the ion engine.

Because the spacecraft is too close to the space station, starting the photon engine may affect the space station until the spacecraft leaves the new Chang'an space station about 100 kilometers away.

[The spaceship has entered the acceleration area, and there is no threat to the space area ahead, so the photon engine can be activated. ] Masashi Kishimoto sent a message through the brain control system.

[Activate Condensed Matter Shield. ] Fang Tianbo ordered.

[The condensed matter shield has been activated. ] Yuri Yifanov replied.
